OF CLEAR SPRINGS, PENNSYLVANIA.

IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 [4,237. dated April25, 1871.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADAM WEABER, of Lebanon, in the county of Lebanonand State of Pennsylvania, have, as I believe,invented new and usefulImprovements in Flows; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull and exact description of the same, reference being had to thedrawings that accompany and form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 represents a landside view of my plow with the cutter and thelandside-plate detached. Fig. 2 represents the face and an edge view ofthe landside-plate; Fig. 3, the cutter in position on the front end ofthe moldboard; Fig. 4, landside of the plow, exhibiting not only thecutter in position, but also the landside-plate.

Letter A represents the plow-beam; B, the mold-board;.G, the cutter; D,the landsideplate; E, an opening through this plate D, near the frontend thereof; F, a projection on the standard part of mold-board B,corresponding to and made just to fill the opening E; g, a recess orrabbets in plate D, in depth corresponding to the thickness of the plateof cutter 0; h, a flange 011 the cutter-plate G, which overlaps thefront end of the mold-board B, (see Fig. 3;) t, a pin on thecutter-plate O,

which enters and fills the opening j. This keeps the upper end of saidcutter-plate. k is a screw or bolt passing through the cutterplate 0 andinto the opening Z in the projection F. This retains in place thecutter, and thus the plate D.

My invention relates to the method of con necting and fastening andkeeping in place the landside-plate D and cutter G; and it consists informing upon the landside face of the end of mold-board B the projectionF, and supplying the landside-plate D with the opening E, fitted toclose over the said projection F, as Figs. 1 and 2 will well illustrate.

The drawings will afford all needful instruction as to the formation andrelation of parts.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The projection F on the mold-board B, and the corresponding opening, E,in the plate D, as and for the purposes specified and set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

ADAM VEABER.
